Operation Manual / OTM-1550/1550L

V. Network design
1550nm system can use EDFA to extend transmission distance, when signal is operated in
1550nm, the fiber should be considered of some factors, such as Chromatic Dispersion, SBS,
SPM (Self Phase modulated) and other non-linearity effect of optic fiber. The network we
designed for you has supplied some simple rules of using the transmitter.
5.1 The choice of SBS critical value
5.1.1 The longest optic fiber distance in system transmission
If you want to transmit more than 100km, you need to select 13dBm SBS restrain status.
Why you need to do this is because of SPM & optic fiber Chromatic Dispersion. If bandwidthextending status is not changed, when fiber length is longer, CSO performance will be worse. If
you want to choose longer distance transmission, you need to select smaller line bandwidth.
13dBm is much smaller, 16dBm is much bigger, and 18dBm is the biggest. The following table
shows the recommended fiber length in which SBS restraint status.

5.1.2 Fiber input optic power

The biggest optic fiber Input power is restricted by SBS restraint status. If your power is
bigger than the stipulated limit, it will occur some bad result. The low frequency band will have
1/f noise, low channels CNR will not be good, HUM will also be worse than in normal status.
The attached table shows the limit value of SBS restraint power.

The general CATV operator will use high power EDFA (such as 22dBm and higher one), and
use optic splitter to arrange the power transmitting in the optic fiber & cable. It is no problem to
do this, because the optic fiber patch cord is short. But it is necessary to notice that SBS
restraint setup rest with the worse situation, for example, the longest distance & the biggest
fiber input power in the optic cable.

5.4 SBS adjustment process

OTM-1550/1550L external modulated transmitter offers special technology. It can let user
adjust the SBS critical value at the spot. The default SBS restraint value is 16.5dBm when
leaving factory. The user can adjust it by himself. The adjustment process according to the real
requirement of system:
A: Use STATUS button, select SBS Menu main menu;
B: Use UV button, select SBS=16.5 submenu;
C: Press STATUS button, enter to opening SBS select software;
D: Use UV button, select the SBS critical value what you need;
E: Press STATUS button again for confirmation.

VI. EQUIPMENT OPERATION PRINCIPLE

OTM-1550/1550L series 1550 nm optic transmitter principle frame as picture 18 stated.
Input RF signal is verified at AGC circuit unit and affect on optic modulator to modulate the CW
ligly, which is output from 1550nm laser module. The small part output ligly is checked partly,
then feedback to modulator circuit to control the modulated gain & modulated distortion gain.

Picture 18. OTM-1550/1550L series optic TX operation principle frame

16

01-2010-v6

Operation Manual / OTM-1550/1550L

The non-linearity of optic modulator is inherent. If there is no compensation, the distortion &
intercrossing modulated of modulator will let the signal cannot be applied. Generally, the
inherent distortion can be modified by adding DC deflected voltage on modulator crystal. For
one more modification, you can monitor the intermodulated result of two low gain test signals,
then adjust the DC deflected voltage of modulator to decrease the distortion into the smallest
value. These process is in continuous execution under the closed loop control of system control
microprocessor . It is clear to user.
Microprocessor monitors the deflected gain for eliminating the distortion, and sending
relative warning. If any gain is close to the margin of control system, or the control system can
not sustain the deflection on the necessary gain, it will sending out warning.
The laser is placed on the Thermo-Electric Cooler (TEC) directly. Temperature control circuit
drives TEC working to control the working temperature of the laser , and prevent the
performance decreasing or damage result from overheated laser. The microprocessor monitors
the temperature of laser & controls the TEC current. If TEC current exceeds the pre-established
standard range or is close to the margin of control ability, the system will send out warning.
Setup the temperature warning can let the TX sustain the longest running time under the
common aging speed of the laser. And repair or replace the laser when it is necessary before
the parts can not be repaired.

VII. FAULT DISPOSAL

1550nm optic transmitter can monitor system operation and offer brief note of warning. It can
correct the majority status deflection of the equipment, such as : system parameter floating,
equipment tolerance, laser aging, RF gain changing, temperature changing. The TX will go on
working when it is sending out warning. The facility is self-detected continually and relative
system parameter will recover into normal range, then the warning will disappear. Some serious
warning can be eliminated by restart the power supply of the equipment. If some relative
parameter recover to normal range, the warning will disappear automatically.
The majority warnings will be sent out when the correction ability is close to or exceed the
permitted range. At most of these situation, user can not modify these status. Status
modification needs special equipment & available facility. The modification only could be
processed in the factory.

Operation Manual / OTM-1550/1550L

7.2 Alarm status

When the TX send out warning, it is stopped working generally. The alarm is because of
some relative parameter exceeding its safety working scope or some situation causes damage
to the laser. Some alarm could be eliminated by restart the power supply or reset the keyswitch.
For some alarm couldnt be eliminated by user, please contact our company immediately.
7.3 Fault prevention
User can notice below information to prevent some potential problems.
1.Please place the transmitter under environment temperature 0~50C, other conditions
accords with requested running range. We suggest to place the TX in low dust environment.
2. Ensure the rear panel fan & front panel sockets in ventilation, let the rear panel fans
running.
3. Check the power supply whether works in stipulated standard scope. And check all the
joints are correct.
4. Check the changing of RF gain, control it in the permitted range.
5. Keep the optic fiber connector clean & joint properly. Prevent output optic power
decreasing result from optic leakage.
7.4 Deflection restoration
Due to parameter floating result from modulator long time working, it causes the modulator
deflected voltage warning. Usually, it can be solved through resetting its deflection, namely turn
the key switch into OFF, then turn it into ON. Restoration process neednt further input
operation, but it will spend around 45 minutes to make the control loop return to stable status. In
this term, the CSO will be a little bad, the output signal will come down and floating will be
smaller. Deflection restoration should be worked when it is not on line or the situation of signal
quality decreasing is accepted. The floating process is very slowly, therefore, it needs enough
repair time to eliminate the warning.
If the warning still can not be eliminated, please contact us promptly.
7.5 The sensitivity to 980nm laser
When connecting 1550nm EM transmitter & EDFA, please specially notice the influence of
the reflect ligly to the optic transmitter, which is coming from 980nm Pump Laser of EDFA.
980nm Pump Laser can reflect to the optic output port of the transmitter. The extra optic power
enters the input port of transmitter will affect the deflection point of CSO loop. And it will make
the loop unstable under the extreme situation. In this situation, the CSO fault will be displayed
on any monitor warning joints & front screen.

In order to prevent this situation, please use the EDFA with optic isolator. Similarly, the TX
output ligly also exists reflection or un-matching to the optic connector. Generally, the reflect ligly
of entering optic TX output port can not exceed 25dBm. It is better if the reflect will be weaker.
